Ice Cream Shops near South Orange

“We ordered my son’s birthday cake from SOMA Sweets about a month ago, and the entire experience exceeded expectations. Steve managed to bring my 5-year-old’s very specific “Venom cake” vision to life on short notice, and it came out better than we imagined.

He also partnered with another great local business, Bakes By Izzy, to make it happen. The cake looked incredible and tasted even better.

If you’re looking for an amazing custom ice cream cake, these are your people.“

“Great price, nice size, clean & friendly.“

“I don't usually write long Google reviews, but after attending a buddy’s wedding in North Jersey recently, I had to drop one for this place.
Honestly, I’m not even a big cake guy, but the dessert setup at the reception caught my attention right away. They had this huge, multi-tiered custom wedding cake that looked awesome really clean work, not over the top, just super high quality. My wife and I were actually talking about how great it looked before they even cut into it.
When we finally got our slices, I expected the usual wedding cake thing: looks great, tastes like dry cardboard or straight sugar. But man, this thing was actually insane. Super moist, fresh, and tasted legit. I finished mine in about two minutes and ended up grabbing half of my wife’s slice too. It was so good I walked over to the groom during the party just to ask where they got it. He told me they had it custom designed at D’era House.
Finding a cake designer around North Jersey that makes something that actually tastes as good as it looks is pretty rare. I saved their info on my phone right then and there for our next family event.
If you’re looking for a solid wedding cake designer, custom made tiered cakes, or custom event cakes in Clifton or anywhere in the area, D’era House is 100% the real deal. Props to the baker! 💍🍰💪“

“it is really good I definitely recommend“

“Best ice cream shop in Essex County if not the entire state of NJ. You can taste the difference in quality, creaminess, ingredients, no artificial flavors. Small micro batches made with natural ingredients and real flavors. Great owner and staff. Very nice people who go above and beyond to help create a wonderful experience. Small space but the flavor is large. They are getting ready to launch their second storefront in Lyndhurst. Go check them out. You won’t be disappointed. Favorite flavors include: Strawberry Baklava Chocolate But all are incredibly good!“

“Small shop, BIG flavor. I think my favorite part was the drip catcher! There’s something for everyone. Soft serve, mix-ins, dairy, free, full dairy, vegan, fruit flavors, smoothies, the list goes on… The ice cream is smooth. The service is great.“

“Soooo many amazing flavors“

“Have been wanting to stop for the longest time. Finally did tonight. The food was fantastic! We were lucky enough to sit in the booth reserved for The Soprano Family!! Made the experience that much better. Nice to see the spot were the final episode was filmed but if we lived closer we would come back for the food!! So glad David Chase picked Holsten’s!!“

“Saw this gorgeous little boutique in the mall, and I had to stop in!
The presentation of the chocolates and gelatos are eye catching and organized. I love the displays for Easter and chocolate eggs are my favorite!! Especially the mini Lampone eggs. I grabbed many mix & match chocolates along the wall which are paid by weight. The employee named Angel was very kind and helpful explaining all of the options and recommending gelato flavors which made making a decision much easier for me.
I chose a gourmet baby cone with pistachio and it was scooped to perfection! I will be back for more soon :)“

“very clean, easy flow for checkout“

“Tried the new Woodbridge location twice now and WOW! The Rocky Road and Chocolate were out of this world. We will definitely be repeat customers.“

“Amazing place. They have all types of ice cream flavors, including non-dairy and sugar free ice cream, they have a large variety of Italian ices flavors, and to make it even better they can make smoothies and slushies and floats based off of any flavors you want. The worker that helped us out today was amazing, helpful and kind. She was holding down the fort by herself, I believe her name was Thaliana“

“The best ube ice cream ever.!!! try the ube cake and ube mango sticky rice too so yummy!!! Very friendly staff. I highly recommend this place.“

“Caputo’s is hands down one of the best ice cream spots around. The ice cream is insanely creamy, super flavorful, and you can tell it’s made with real quality ingredients. Every flavor hits, whether you’re sticking with a classic or trying something new. The shop has such a friendly, welcoming vibe, and the staff is always great.“

“it was good“

“We recently hired Danny’s Soft Serve Ice Cream Truck for our event, and it was absolutely perfect! I actually found them because they’re always driving around our neighborhood, and everyone gets excited when they hear that music coming down the street. So when it came time to book an ice cream truck, choosing Danny’s was a no-brainer. The service was super friendly, the ice cream was delicious, and the whole setup added such a fun vibe to our event. All of our guests, kids and adults loved it! Danny was punctual, easy to work with, and made everything feel effortless.“

“Thank you for sharing your delicious ice cream with our Staff for Teacher appreciation!“

“I've been to so many Crumble locations and have never given any of them a review. That being said, I had to give this location one because of how friendly, welcoming, and helpful they were!! One of the girls, I thinks her name was Krissy, was absolutely AMAZING!!“

“Awesome ice cream all flavors never disappointed always so good“

“Thank you for making the BEST cake!! I came in a few hours before graduation and asked to decorate the cake on each side. The woman who decorated the cake did an amazing job!“

“I was in the mood for a Mangonada and not too familiar with the area since we moved to Bayonne a year ago. We were out driving and I googled mangonada and came across M2ICE. They did not DISAPPOINT! Everything was absolutely incredible. The owners were also very welcoming and explained the different options and gave suggestions. We will be back.“

“Great coffees and nice staff“

“Great place love their options and the tea awesome“

“Just a little too overly cautious with the covid-19 for me but the ice 🧊 cream 🍦 was good prices and service pretty decent“

“Amazingly delicious ice cream served at a perfect temperature. No matter what flavor I try it taste delicious. Service is great too.!“

“On behalf of the Mount Pleasant PTA, We would like to express our sincerest gratitude to Guerriero Gelato for their incredibly generous contribution to our recent schoolwide event. Your support played a significant role in making the event a resounding success, and we are truly grateful for your contribution to our school community. Thank you once again for your kindness and generosity, and we hope to continue working together in the future to support our students and their education.“

“Cute little spot in the heart of downtown Little Falls. The ice cream prices are decent, around $6 for a small. The quality of the ice cream isn't bad either. There is parking in the back of the building on Old Morris Canal Lane. Worth checking out and a nice addition to Little Falls.“

“It's Rita's, I mean come on, 5 stars is a guarantee. It is a snow cone, ice cream fusion. Only negative could be the fact you may have to wait in line a bit during peak hours because, well, it's that damn good 👍

“Decided to stop in after a tour visit to Montclair University and receiving a gift card for Christmas. Everything was delicious. We ordered brisket fries,cheese fries, smash patty melt, Montclair Blue Burger, build your own burger and 3 shakes. Everything was amazing including the burger buns (fluffy and airy). I wish they were closer to us, Old Bridge could definitely use a really good burger place.“

“The owners and the staff at this little joint are truly a delight to be around and their creative (and affordable) menu really worth trying. A truly welcoming place!“

“desayunos deliciosos los batidos son frescos“

“It's has been many years since the last time I was at Applegate Farm. The ice cream was a family favorite and we live in Brooklyn, NY. My sister and I were not disappointed. Too many flavors of ice cream to name. However, what we had was very good.“

“I had vanilla ice cream in a cone with the chocolate dip. 1 thing I can say after all these years the ice cream had not changed!!!!“

“One of the best gelatos I’ve tried in the US! This makes all the other gelatos I’ve tried seem unauthentic. The hazelnut and pistachio were amazing. I don’t like pistachio ice cream but their pistachio flavor tasted nutty and delicious. I see why so it’s bustling with people going in and out!“

“el helado de chocolate con oreo“

“The food, atmosphere, and staff was fantastic! For starters, the employees were super nice, helpful and patient. I ordered the Banana Split Dazzler Sundae and it was delicious and so worth the price. The atmosphere was wonderful and everything was so clean and organized. Since most businesses have a disheveled atmosphere, Häagen-Dazs did not disappoint at all! Overall, come here! It is amazing and you will not regret it.“

“Ice cream is good! Sucks they didn’t have some things and said it would be available next week. Also there was only one worker and wasn’t moving fast enough our ice cream was melting while waiting for the rest of our order. Also be aware with a card charge there is a random $1 being charged with no explanation on the receipt. Comes up as a “.” with $1.00 next to it. Wasn’t aware of it to my knowledge. Overall ice cream is pretty good.“

“Great ice cream, even while waiting on line there’s a great vibe. By the way, I had the cherry vanilla!“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A Hidden Gem in NJ – Salaam Ice Cream Parlor is a Must-Visit
it’s a full experience. The place is vibrant, clean, and welcoming, with a unique cultural charm that sets it apart from your typical ice cream shop .
The ice cream in question? rich, creamy, and bursting with flavor. Whether you’re into classic vanilla bean or want to try something new . every scoop is crafted with care and creativity. The waffle cones are crisp and honestly addictive.
What truly makes Salaam stand out is the exceptional customer service. The staff is friendly and patient. You can tell they genuinely care about the community and the people who walk up to get icecream.

Whether you’re a local or just passing through, Salaam Ice Cream Parlor deserves a spot at the top of your list. It’s more than a sweet treat—it’s a place that brings people together.“

“Best ice cream around!!! Friendly staff Very clean“

“Excellent service and outdoor seating“

“Lots of flavor variety. Wish the sugar free/ NSA flavors were listed on the menu .“

“No contest. DQ and Last Licks are good, sometimes necessary in the pinch. But, Scoop Coop? Legendary. They just know how to nuance the nuance of soft serve...and the homemade hard flavors are consistently delicious. A sweet balance and perfect mouth feel. Service is of same high, joyful standard.“
